The post comes after it was confirmed that U.S series RuPaul’s Drag Race is coming to Australia and New Zealand as an eight-part Stan Original series.
RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under will begin production this week, with superstar RuPaul serving as host alongside Drag Race icon Michelle Visage.
‘I cannot wait for everyone to see that Down Under queens have some of the biggest charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talents in the world,’ said RuPaul.

Along the way they’ll be judged by a glittering array of celebrity guests, who will throw shade and provide feedback to the queens.
Stan will announce the contestants, and the third celebrity judge, at a later date.
The British and American versions of RuPaul’s Drag Race are available to stream on Stan in Australia.
